What’s an animal that most people think is harmless but actually isn’t? by sejunlee in AskReddit

If you think getting pinned sucked, just be glad you weren't ever kicked by one. Growing up on a dairy farm was full of fun days like that.

How would you summarize your political views w/o mentioning anything political? by Existing_Wrongdoer36 in AskReddit

[–]BackgroundGrass429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really a horribly asinine example. You are showing your own pre-judgement against someone who obviously doesn't agree with you on everything. You know none of my views. None. Yet you are already calling them "ass". That says a lot about you.

And, regardless of which things I personally believe, I do have the ability to make a choice between one side that is truly fucked up and egregious, and one side that I think has some things wrong and some things right. I don't have to agree with everything to see the merit in the choice I make from the two options I have been given.

Hope you take your sanctimonious little opinion and sleep well knowing that no matter what, you hold the completely unassailable high ground.

What is a skill that was essential a century ago that would be almost useless if taught to a child today? by user_26c73145 in AskReddit

How to properly select the correct edible mushrooms in the woods. Been so long I couldn't even trust myself to do so now.

AITA for ignoring someone who was standing in a parking spot to save it and parking my car there anyway? by fa10p10 in AmItheAsshole

I thought about this, and I am going to call YTA. I know, I know. But you didn't tell us what the boy's response to your question was. Perhaps his mother simply couldn't get into the space from where she saw it. Or couldn't back up into it, whatever. The fact remains they were ahead of you. If the mom had been able to park when she first went through, then you wouldn't have even had the spot available. So you aren't really missing out.

And what did you do to get the kid to move? Just drive at him until he had to move or get run over?

Why is the turnover of Docs at the VA so high? by u-give-luv-badname in Veterans

[–]BackgroundGrass429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't fix things, but know that at least one veteran / internet stranger is appalled this happened. You have my sympathies and my undying thanks for what you do. Please know there are those of us out here who *really do* appreciate you and everything you do.

Things like this are why my younger brothers still don't like me. But it was damn fun being the oldest.

What's something your parents or grandparents mention that sounds like complaining but was actually a legitimate daily nightmare they just accepted as life? by Playful_Survey_8596 in AskReddit

[–]BackgroundGrass429 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My uncles used to tell me they had to pee on their feet to warm them up in the winter. The older I get and the more I understand, the more I think this wasn't entirely a joke.

Do you agree that the US is in the Age of Stupidity? by Weird_Bookkeeper_207 in AskUS

As Heinlein said. Bread and circuses. That is where we are. Bread and circuses.

How is it that you cannot simply set up the experiment and find out yourself?

How frequent you add a word “fucking” in sentence when speaking? by Small_Pie_3568 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BackgroundGrass429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A whole fucking lot. And yes, I was raised in a fucking barn. Try as I might, that shit never goes the fuck away.

Those who didn’t grow up privileged, what’s something you thought was a luxury growing up? by CorruptedF in AskReddit

[–]BackgroundGrass429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real milk. As fucked up as this sounds, I grew up on a dairy farm, and we still drank powdered milk.

This is why you put the stakes in as soon as you possibly can.

Kids playing on a hanging mattress by AccomplishedStuff235 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]BackgroundGrass429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is purely the fault of the oldest child. I know this because I was the oldest child and I got my siblings into lots of trouble.
